I believe the logic behind Google Fiber is to just push the competitors to a direction that is beneficial for Google. A little bit like what they did with Chrome. To my understanding the point in Chrome was not to dominate the browser market, but affect the direction of browsers in general (fast Javascript execution, standards compliance, just a chrome for the content and not big-fat-portal-style experience).
